      <pageblurb>Peter Welch has a long and successful history of working for average Vermonters.  Peter is a principled leader who understands how to make government work for all citizens by balancing budgets, creating fair-paying jobs, protecting the environment and working to provide Vermonters with affordable quality health care.

But even as President Pro Tem of the Vermont Senate, there&amp;apos;s only so much  that can be done to stave off the impact of federal cuts in Medicaid, housing, environmental protection, and so many others because of a reckless Republican leadership that gives tax cuts we can&#8217;t afford to people who don&#8217;t need them.

The stakes in this 2006 election are higher then ever.  With the current Republican leadership, we have the most compliant Congress in 40 years, acting as a rubber stamp for the disastrous policies of the Bush administration.  Please take a moment to read the full text of Peter&amp;apos;s announcement speech &lt;a href="http://www.welchforcongress.com/speech"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and decide for yourself whether $50, $25 or even just $10  per month is worth it to you, your family and your community to win back Democratic control of Congress and get our country back on the right track again.

Thank-you for being part of the solution!</pageblurb>
